About the author - A Londoner of sorts, Nick harks from Watford, the sort of town that makes you want to travel. He studied history and politics at university, which condemned him to be drawn to strange events in strange places across the globe. After stints with London magazines and tour leading in countries as diverse as Vietnam and Morocco, he hooked up with Lonely Planet in 1998 and has worked on more than 20 titles over the following years. Cambodia is his backyard and he has worked on several editions of the Cambodia guide, as well as Southeast Asia on a shoestring and that international bestseller Cycling Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia. He is also happy exploring the neighbourhood and has worked on Lonely Planet guides covering Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand. Southeast Asia may be home, but he is not averse to mad missions in Afreeka and has been known to hang around in tourist hotspots such as Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
